I’ve watched many a fantasy anime where an OP MC goes to magic school and gathers a bunch of friends that may also be a harem, but usually I get somewhat bored about halfway through when it just goes through the motions of that premise. While A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special is still very much going through the motions, I never got bored with it. In fact, I think its regressor plot and imminent future doom invested me more in the characters than usual.

Where To Start The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Manhwa After The Anime?
If you finished the A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special anime and want to continue the story with the manhwa, you can do so at Chapter 44.
What to Expect From The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Manhwa?
The anime for A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special keeps a lot of the core plot intact, but changes a lot of details. The manhwa and novels both tell a lot more grittier tale while the anime edits a fair bit of that out, changing it into another standard bland-style fantasy anime. It doesn’t make Desir struggle as much as he actually does. As such, I do recommend reading the series from the beginning if you have fallen in love with it.
Is The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Manhwa Over?
The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special manhwa is still ongoing. It is, however, separated into seasons. The anime is still in Season 1 of the manhwa (the first 70 chapters). The most current ongoing manhwa season is Season 5.
Where To Start The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Light Novel After The Anime?
A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special technically began life as a novel, but the manhwa has become more popular. However, if novels are more your speed, you can pick up the A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special novel after the anime at, technically, Chapter 36.
However, as the anime sped through the chess game between Zod and Desir, you may actually wish to start from Chapter 30 for more exposition that sets up later plot.
Is The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Light Novel Over?
The A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special novel is complete. It ended in 2019 with Novel 8/Chapter 314.
Will There Be A A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special Season 2?
Following the final episode of the first season of the anime, it was announced that A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special will receive a second season. However, there was no further details as to when the second season will air.
Since the manhwa’s first season covers 70 chapters and the first season of the anime covered about half of that, it seems very likely that a second season will adapt the full first season of the manhwa.
